Hello Foundation Members.
During the last week of June we announced the call for GUADEC 2013
proposals [1]. We have received feedback from the community that more
time is needed. Therefore, in order to ensure we have a great GUADEC
2013, we are extending the deadline for completed proposals.
Because it has been the Board's experience that face-to-face meetings
are a valuable part of the proposal evaluation process, we would
strongly encourage all parties who plan to submit a proposal to meet
with the Board at GUADEC to present their tentative plans. However, if
meeting face-to-face is not possible, we will work with you to arrange
an alternative meeting.
The new deadlines are as follows:
* July 20th: Declaration of intent to propose hosting GUADEC 2013 sent
to board-list <at> gnome.org. In this declaration, please include a
statement of your availability to meet with the Board during GUADEC
2012.
* September 22nd: Formal, complete proposals for hosting GUADEC 2013
sent to board-list <at> gnome.org.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please let us know either on
foundation-list <at> gnome.org or board-list <at> gnome.org.
